“Get On Board With the Library,” a campaign supporting holiday donations, is being spearheaded by Tim Summers, former Representative from the Arkansas Legislature. The Bentonville Library Foundation is sponsoring the campaign to support our local library. Development Director Brenda Compton and Mr. Summers are leading the Bentonville Library Foundation’s efforts to secure funding for digital resources, large print materials and children’s books.
